About

Throughout the year, recurrent themes percolated through vibrant conversations in the studios and then online. These works respond to a shared set of concerns around the commodification of the educational system, marginalised voices, ecological violence, and the need for cross-cultural understanding and human connection.

Our graduates present Illustration as an open space for thought, dialogue, and action. They ask us to consider Illustration as a tool to organise our relationship with the outside world and a way to navigate the complex relationship between other people and ourselves.

Over the last 14 weeks, our graduates have embraced the vulnerability, doubt, and unpredictability of this moment to redouble their strength, generosity and faith in one other.
